Back in Motion

Back-in-motion offers chiropractic treatment in the heart of Lewes. Gitte and Derek are passionate about helping those who come to their welcoming and friendly clinic.

What Our Patients Say

I suffer badly with back pain and have always struggled with aches, pains and miraines. Since I started treatment with Gitte all of these things have drastically improved.

Not only do Back in Motion provide excellent chiropractic care, they also provide such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I always feel 100% happy the whole time I am there and leave with a smile on my face even on the gloomiest of days.

I came to see Derek Allen at Back in Motion with a very painful strain of muscles around the pelvis. I was impressed with the thoroughness of Derek’s approach. He treated me and I got my first night’s sleep since the event started. Two days later I am back and confident that the second treatment will cure me completely.

Derek was recommended to me by a fellow tradesman after he successfully treated his tennis elbow problem. Having treated me for the same problem for the last few months, I feel I should in turn recommend Back in Motion to anybody who is looking for a chiropractor. Thank you Derek, you brought my arm back to life!

I have been going to Back in Motion for a couple of years with back problems and, more recently, trapped nerves in my neck. The treatment I get is always very professional and everything is explained before the treatment, which I find very helpful and reassuring.

My latest treatment included acupuncture, which was amazing! I arrived in a lot of pain, and left sore, but the pain had gone! I was amazed, but also very grateful. Gitte, who treats me, and all the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I have total confidence in this practice, and have recommended it to several friends.

Have been a patient at Back in Motion for three years now due to a back problem. Without the skills of Derek and Gitte, I don’t think I would be able to do all the things I can do now, i.e. swimming, walking and occasionally taking to the dance floor!

I have recommended the practice to a couple of people, who, I’m glad to say, are still attending the clinic, as, like me, they just wouldn’t be able to carry on a normal life because of pain! Hope you keep going for years and years, in Lewes of course!

Having suffered from side/back pain for quite a while I decided to seek help from a chiropractor. I selected Back in Motion on the strength of the information contained on the website and booked the advertised “free chat” with Gitte. Gitte took time to explain the treatments on offer and I then booked an evaluation of my condition and following that, booked subsequent treatments. All I can say is that it has been money well spent. The transformation was gradual and now I am free form pain. The quality of service is both friendly and extremely professional. I would recommend Back in Motion without hesitation.

Derek has made my back better than it has been for some 20-odd years. Others have tried and failed. I never even dared hope I could be this good again, and have returned to a full, active life of farming, horse riding and gardening, without the need for painkillers. Thank you so much, Derek!
— Mrs J.D.
The quality of care I have received at Back in Motion has been professional and efficient. My condition made steady progress from the first appointment, with ongoing improvement. Derek gives the time to explain about the treatment with a practical and supportive approach.

I have seen Gitte ever since she and Derek took over Back in Motion several years ago. I go for ‘maintenance’ every six weeks or so, but if I have an urgent problem, she will always try to see me straight away. I find her to be a very empathic person, who is professional and skilled at her job as a chiropractor.

My husband has been treated by Derek for a couple of years and he recommended that I saw him when I experienced a painful and stiff shoulder. Derek quickly diagnosed the problem and the condition much improved after the first visit. I was 100% after just three treatments. I thought I was pushing my luck when I asked Derek about the Achilles tendonitis I have suffered with for six years, but no, Derek has improved that to the point that it is now just an occasional niggle.
I have recommended Derek and Gitte to a number of friends and would encourage anyone who is curious about the benefits of chiropractic to visit Back In Motion. Derek and Gitte have fostered a friendly and personal environment and take time to fully understand your condition and then explain the causes and possible treatments. There is never any pressure to attend for more treatments than are necessary and, compared with others I have attended elsewhere, their rates are very reasonable.
